This picture isn’t really of an event, but a representation of the confidence, experience and life-changing opportunities I was able to be a part of this trip.I will forever be grateful for the places I saw, the people I met and the things I learned. I also cherish the friendships I made with beautiful, intelligent colleagues that I did not know well before this trip. Thank you for everything.
